Writer

 In 2004 I received a BFA in mixed media studio art. With a degree in the arts and no solid plan, I've had the opportunity to hold many different jobs; video store manager, barista, photographer’s assistant, toy store clerk, and yoga instructor at a retreat in Puerto Rico. All of which have served me well as hands on research and inspiration for my novels. Currently, when I'm not writing, you can find me working at an elementary school library, chasing after my toddler, Agatha (yes, named after Dame Christie), or watching Bad Monkey with my husband.

I write because I love to read. After years of getting so much from others words I wanted to add mine to the conversation. I find it deeply satisfying to put all my favorite things (yoga, movies, music, romance, murder, etc) into a book. When I’m not writing (or playing with my toddler) I’m reading! 

Here are 3 mystery books and 3 romancey books I love:

1. None of this is True by Lisa Jewell

2. In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware

3. In the Woods by Tana French

1. One Night on the Island by Josie Silver

2. Beach Read by Emily Henry 

3. Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter 

What are some of your favorite books??
